how difficult did you find the 2391? did you have much experience when you did it? i've done 3 years at college with no on site experince and have been told by my tutor that he thinks i'd pass 2391. yet everyone else tells me it's very very difficult. sorry to hijack the post guys.

You can read my advice to the OP again and maybe you will se that I was trying to be helpful

The air traffic control comment was tongue in cheek and perhaps uncalled for although I do think I have a point more importantly since when do I have to justify anything I write on here to you?

Ok.... sorry if I overreacted I apologise, Its a subject I feel strongly about im afraid.

To become an professional in our industry takes as much dedication as many other professions although it would be laughable to think anyone could make the transition from electrician/engineer to air traffic controller in a matter of weeks, it seems the opposite isnt the case and it saddens me.

Brightspark...although I respect every forum requires moderation I disagree that my post was uncivilized. i cant see your intervention was required although I appreciate your concern

That wasn't directed at you Mondybaber mate It was directed at the thread as a whole!

 

[montybaber]

Ok...for the second time i apologise

And on that note, unless the OP requests otherwise, thread closed.
